dredman Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 It sounds like you are having problems with the rear bail flopping down while trying to close the toe bail? If you put a single zip tie on the rear bail and leave the long tail on, you will be able to make sure the rear bail stays up by holding on to the tail of the zip tie while closing the toe. Hope this helps, DR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 This pic and suggestion compliments of BlueB. Give a little more info as to what the problem is that you're having. Just a small piece of shockcord, tie a not on every end, insolation tape to the bail, bring the loop under the toe block, done. Entire fix costs $1 or less, takes 2 minutes to do, doesnt interfere with structure of the binding and is very efficient. I just tried it on TD2, works too. Slightly shorter length is required.

NateW Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't think he was asking what heels should he be using, but a solution to his current problem.Intec isn't the answer to everything. If Intec isn't the answer, you're asking the wrong question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufty Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 The other thing is "don't try to clip in whilst sitting down, do it standing up". High angles and a sitting clip-in don't mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjvircks Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 hey Keyser Soze (aka Verbal)... the photo in post #7 doesn't show what you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ESPI Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I had issues with no canting on the back foot also. Now I have 6 degree cant, and I dont have any issues... then again I'm on TD2, so you are kinda stuck with what ya got as TD1 are just available flat. +1 on the shock cord trick.

John H Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I thought that TD1's also had 3 and 6 degree bases available. I seem to remember that I had a set with 6 degree bases, one thick spacer and one thin spacer with the bases. Of course at my age I might not be remembering too well.

Dave ESPI Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I stand corrected. I had a brain fart moment. The entire base has to be replaced, not just the canting plate if memory serves me. http://www.alpinecarving.com/binding_model.html Sorry for confusion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD1's had 0, 3, and 6 degree cant discs. You needed the corresponding bumpers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ESPI Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 another statement that's completely WRONG Bob.. yer such a bad TROLL. Take note I made amends to said statement 1 post later. Rather than being a backpedaler, I didn't EDIT it, I just posted after it and added also a HELPFULL link to a website that discussed the differences. Thats what makes a quality post, not just slamming an honest mistake about some gear and another person on a forum. You have some OCD and anger issues you need to discuss with a Dr. who can perscribe some good psychotropic meds EDIT: how many days out of the computer chair have you got this season sofar?

I'm at 13..... lol, no, not a troll, just pointing out how completely unreliable your info is and how little you know. like when you said you had a 1990 board with 4x4 inserts prior to anyone useing that standard or the time you insisted that the entire snowboard industry does not know anything and to prove it said burton stopped making 3 strap bindings therefor everyone in said industry other than harbooters is a sell out. I thought you had me on ignore? makes no sense to put someone on ignore if you don't ignore them. yet another shining example of asshatery.
